Why do chuds love suburban sprawl so much? (hexbear.net)

They seem to love the cookie cutter houses chain restaurants and expensive unsustainable living that typifies the American suburb.

I posted a cookie cutter suburban house one time saying it looks like dog shit and bunch of chuds were like "What a beautiful house".

Spoiled upper middle class women and chuds just seem to venerate suburban sprawl.

Why?

too noisy, too many people (leads my brain to go into hyper-vigilance mode), too closed in, too much light pollution (can't see stars at night), and not enough green

Your last three points are an issue of urban design (and arguably the first one as well).

I mostly agree. However, I'm not sure that light pollution can be satisfactorily settled while maintaining night-time safety. Reduction in car-centic "design" would help a lot of it but I don't see it happening in my lifetime.

Lights don't do shit for safety, and the safest way to use cars is to not.
